context: booting in pfix-ram from 503q-k.2.6.32.28-live-cd (md5sum OK) on the above-already-described-Fuji-Siemens PC - this usually runs with intel Xorg driver.

problem: Again same as in the above post:
1) the locale setup is displayed as usually (vesa mode?);
2) whatever having completed or not the locale setup, clicking on Xorgwizard ...waiting a long long time...display keeps being black ...
3) doing ctrl-backspace ... then got the command-line prompt
4) if now entering xwin, again get a black screen BUT! get the "woof-woof"'s 2barks.wav on the pc speaker.
5) if again doing ctrl-backspace ... then again get the command-line prompt ...choosing Xorg ... test...choice on 1024x768x16 (as usual on that PC) ... Xorg tells "OK for video, OK for card"...then black screen and again waiting...black screen forever...!
7) here doing ctrl-backspace ... then again get the command-line prompt, here doing xwin, again get a black screen and again get the "woof-woof"'s 2barks.wav on the pc speaker.
Thus, all seems going as usual except that there is NOT ANY video !
On this PC+puppy the video is usually driven by the intel driver.
..have tested this on two identical Fuji pc's..!

now something really crazy ! =-)) : this happened... just by accident...!
1) again live-cd bootup etc...
2) I ONLY selected the 3rd locale field (=keyboard locale) i.e. "be-latin1"; 1st field left unmodified.
3) click OK to run next Xorgwizard setup ...choice on Xorg; then resolution 1024x768x16 - "OK for video;OK for card" ; then choice on "test" .... AND HERE GOT the grey display « blablibla... if you are getting this...Xorg is running...blablibla...do ctrl-backspace » ; so I ctrl-backspaced and got ... a correct display ! Now the locale setting got displayed automatically, here I could setup the 1st locale field to "Français", validate; got the extra locale setup to "be-@euro"; and all now seems to be OK (this post edited using 503q-k.2.6.32.28...!)

conclusion: So the locale setup works here if done in two steps; if 1st and 3rd locale-setup-fields are set in one step then I get a black screen...!

Any idea about this?!?
Thanks anyway in advance for your time.
Cheers from Belgium !

Which devx.sfs should work with latest versions? It is needed for poedit.
503q is good, fast with ext4-savefile (it seems faster with ext4-savefile), but it's kernel 2.6.32.28 is not friendly with my PC (hangs up, same with Barry's Wary and Lupu) so I use it only to try. k2.6.31.14 is stable for me.

devx for 503q-k.2.6.32.28 is wary_devx_511.sfs.
For 50xq-k.2.6.31.14, wary_devx_500.sfs.

The devx files are not liseted both on bootmanager nor sfs_load.
Right-click the SFS and select 'sfs_load'.
Or, drag and drop the SFS on the left entry of the sfs_load main dialog._________________Downloads for Puppy Linux http://shino.pos.to/linux/downloads.html

Hi shinobar,
about wary-503q-k2.6.32.28
(this looks to be specific to this Fuji-Siemens PIV)
Now I could not reproduce the above «crazy» situation.
BUT this one well:
1) bootup from cd
2) left all personalize settings unmodified and then I get a black screen after clicking OK;
3) there doing Ctrl-backspace to retart Xorgwizard, there choice on Xorg, resolution 1024x768x16, test,...black screen again (but lets suppose everything is going on except video), doing Ctrl-backspace, doing 'xwin', black screen still again (but nevermind!), Ctrl-backspace again, doing 'reboot', then accept SAVEFILE and fill in the personal save file name; doing reboot from live-cd choosing the first menu line and select the above save file, and then I get the video working; now the personal settings may be continued.
So, it works if restart using a «without-visibility-on-black-screen-created» wary-503q-personal-savefile + current intel video driver.
Sorry being long.

Now I can reproduce the startup and get a working wary-503q-k2.6.32.28 this way:
1) ram only bootup from live-cd (pfix=ram)
2) once Personalize Settings box is diplayed, do Ctrl-Alt-backspace to get the command line; left Personalize Settings unchanged.
3) on the command line, do 'xorgwizard'
(be carefull!: the keyboard is default us_en configured!)
4) validate Xorg; choice on 1024x768x16 resolution; OK; then get a blackscreen (nevermind ! let's continue !)
5) again Ctrl-Alt-backspace ... get the the command line displayed;do 'xwin' ... then again black screen;
6) again Ctrl-Alt-backspace ... get the the command line displayed;this time do 'reboot'; save file dialog box is displayed: validate SAVE FILE
7) enter save file name, click on OK; then wait untill reboot is over;
8) wary looks for warysave files, and find the above (under 6-7) ) save file; choice on this one (or, if it is the only existing, wary loads it straight away);
9) now I get the wary5 screen displayed !
10)Personalize Settings dialog box may now be set to locales etc...and pressing Ctrl-Alt-backspace keys returns to the command line.
11) i915 seems to be the Xorg selected driver
